I have coached many players who have gone onto playing professional in England and in America, and also playing soccer in college.

Captained high school for 5 years.

Played for county (state) team for 5 years.

NY/NJ Metrostars Training Programs , coach of the year 2005.

I will talk to the client and their parent about what they feel their weaknesses are and will build a technical training program around that and my own assessment of the player after the first practice.

My practices always start with fast footwork drills with the ball for the first 10 minutes, then move into the theme of the day. Every practice will finish with a shooting drill for the final 10 minutes.

I don’t just work on the correct technique but also work on performing the technique or skill at game speed under pressure
